Aug. 12th, 2009 03:34 amTHE DECEMBERISTS. OMG. ONE OF THE BEST - IF NOT THE BEST - CONCERTS I'VE EVER BEEN TO. IT WAS TOTAL AMAZINGNESS. I CAN'T EVEN THINK STRAIGHT RIGHT NOW.
SETLIST:
(THIS WAS EASY TO REMEMBER FOR ONCE.)
THE ENTIRETY OF HAZARDS OF LOVE (IT WAS COMPLETE AND UTTER PERFECTION)
"CALIFORNIA ONE/YOUTH AND BEAUTY BRIGADE"
"THE SPORTING LIFE" (COLIN STOLE FUN DIP FROM AN AUDIENCE MEMBER AT THE END OF THIS AND IT WAS AWESOME. WHY SOMEONE HAD FUN DIP AT A CONCERT, I'M NOT SURE, BUT IT PROVIDED FOR A MEMORABLE MOMENT ANYWAY.)
"YANKEE BAYONET"
"THE BACHELOR AND THE BRIDE" (I'M NOT SURE WHEN EXACTLY BUT AT SOME POINT SOMEONE THREW A FRIENDSHIP BRACELET ONSTAGE AND COLIN ACTUALLY PUT IT ON AND KEPT GOING HILARIOUSLY ON AND ON ABOUT HOW THEY WERE BESTIES FOR LIFE NOW. IN OTHER WORDS, OBVIOUSLY.)
"THE CALAMITY SONG" (NEW, I THINK THIS WAS THE TITLE, AND IT WAS PREDICTABLY GREAT)
"DRACULA'S DAUGHTER" (THE "WORST SONG" COLIN'S EVER WRITTEN; IT WAS REALLY MORE LIKE A STORY THAN A SONG SINCE THE SONG ITSELF ONLY LASTED ABOUT THIRTY SECONDS, THEN COLIN WENT ON THIS HUGE TANGENT ABOUT HOW IT WAS SO HORRIBLY BAD IT CAUSED THE END OF THE WORLD AND A BUNCH OF HILARIOUS SHIT THAT I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN WITHOUT RUINING THE HUMOR)
"O VALENCIA"
"CRAZY ON YOU" (HEART COVER, THE FUCKING BEST THING EVER, SEE BELOW)
ELI, THE BARROW BOY
SONS AND DAUGHTERS
FIRST AND FOREMOST, SHARA WORDEN. MOTHERFUCKING SHARA WORDEN. SHE COMPLETELY STOLE THE SHOW. I THINK BECKY STARK, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS A LITTLE BIT MENTAL BUT SHE HAS A GOOD VOICE AT LEAST AND WHEN THE TWO OF THEM DUETED TOGETHER ON THE "CRAZY ON YOU" COVER I THINK I ALMOST DIED FROM THE PERFECTNESS OF IT ALL.
SECONDLY, COLIN MELOY IS FUCKING HILARIOUS AND GENERALLY AWESOME.
THIRDLY, THE ENTIRE BAND IS JUST TALENTED AS FUCK. MY MIND WAS BLOWN MULTIPLE TIMES.
FOURTHLY, I DIDN'T EVEN CARE THAT THEY DIDN'T PLAY ANY OF MY FAVORITE NON-HAZARDS OF LOVE SONGS. OR THAT I REALLY ONLY KNEW TWO OF THEM THAT WELL AT ALL. BECAUSE THEY WERE JUST SO GOOD IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT THEY PLAYED.
IT WAS ALL SO FUCKING BADASS, IN SUMMATION.
ANYWAY.
I NEED TO GO TO BED NOW.
(SORRY FOR THE CAPSLOCK. IT'S JUST THAT KIND OF ANIGHT MORNING.)
